Stakes Matter in Ultimatum Games (2011, background): “In Carpenter et al. (2005), for example, an increase in stakes from $10 to $100 caused the median offer to drop from 40% to 20% of the endowment, though the average offer only dropped from 33% to 25%. Yet, this result is much weaker for smaller changes in stakes: Todd Cherry, Peter Frykblom, and Jas”
Measuring Altruistic Behavior in Surveys: The All‐Or‐Nothing Dictator Game (2007, background): “This result is in line with results of previous laboratory studies (Carpenter, Verhoogen, and Burks 2005; Diekmann 2004).”
Altruistic behavior in a representative dictator experiment (2008, methodology): “In expectation, our game matched the $10 stakes used in many previous dictator experiments and Carpenter et al. (2005b) show that changing the stakes from $10 to $100 has no effect on the distribution of allocations.”
